Sagarmatha National Park

Spanning 1,148 square kilometers in the Solukhumbu District, Sagarmatha National Park is a geographical marvel dominated by the world's highest peak, Sagarmatha (Mount Everest). The park's terrain ranges from lush temperate forests of pine and hemlock to barren alpine zones and massive glaciers like the Khumbu Glacier. It serves as the ancestral homeland of the Sherpa people, whose lives are deeply interwoven with Tibetan Buddhism, centered around historic sites like Tengboche Monastery. Beyond mountaineering, the park preserves a fragile ecosystem housing endangered species such as the red panda and Himalayan monal. Its combination of extreme altitude, geological wonders, and rich cultural heritage makes it one of the most iconic trekking and conservation destinations on Earth.
